The Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission (CLGC) has approved its first distribution of award money to combat problem gambling in the state.
The commission picked five projects from three organizations: the Kindbridge Research Institute, the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health, and the Problem Gambling Coalition of Colorado. The projects cover counselor training and certification programs, research on problem gambling in the state, a program to make college students more aware of gambling issues, and a social marketing campaign on gambling addiction.
The CLGC said it had approved distribution of roughly $1.57 million in awards… The commission was following instructions laid out in House Bill 22-1402, which was signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis last June and established the Responsible Gaming Grant Program.
